520    Gibney shows how America was hijacked by a generation 
       whose reckless self-indulgence degraded the foundations of
       American prosperity. Acting without empathy, prudence, or 
       respect for facts-- acting, in other words, as sociopaths-
       - they turned American dynamism into stagnation, 
       inequality, and bipartisan fiasco. In the 2030s damage to 
       Social Security, public finances, and the environment will
       become catastrophic and possibly irreversible. Gibney 
       argues that younger generations have a fleeting window to 
       hold the boomers accountable and begin restoring America.
